Abstract. Country-specific soil organic carbon (SOC) estimates are the baseline for Global SOC Map of Soil Partnership (GSOCmap-GSP). This endeavor is key to explaining uncertainty global but requires harmonizing heterogeneous datasets and building country-specific capacities digital mapping (DSM). We identified predictors tested performance five predictive algorithms across Latin America. The included support vector machines (SVMs), random forest (RF), kernel-weighted nearest neighbors...

The objective of this research was to determine the suitability soils for coffee cultivation in province Herrera, Republic Panama. Planting robusta is gaining greater interest among Panamanian farmers as an alternative soil conservation. On 19 farms samples were taken (0-20 cm) their properties and initiate a sustainable fertilization program that contributes improving productivity. Digital maps created using Q-GIS v.3.32.1 program. Herrera presented high percentage aluminum saturation, with...

This essay considers the possibilities of collective political mourning through Mexican artist Teresa Margolles's 2009 contribution to Venice Biennale, De Que Otra Cosa Podríamos Hablar? (What Else Could We Talk About?). The author posits that our prevailing notions grief and rely upon a stable conception single human subjects whose loss can be narrativized. This, argues throughout essay, limits action by restricting who have biography. He then takes use objects, fluids, other materials in...
Abstract. Spatial soil databases can help model complex phenomena in which soils are decisive, for example, evaluating agricultural potential or estimating carbon storage capacity. The Soil Information System Latin America and the Caribbean, SISLAC, is a regional initiative promoted by FAO's South American Partnership to contribute sustainable management of soil. SISLAC includes data coming from 49,084 profiles distributed unevenly across continent, making it region's largest database....
